Gutmann Hefeweizen

The brewery was founded in 1707 when Fürstbischof Marquard II build a brewery in his castle in Titting, Bayern, Germany.

The brewery closed down in 1759 and was reopened in 1786 by Fürstbischof Johann Anton III. The brewery became part of Bayern in 1808 and in 1821 it was sold and was now privately owned. The brewery have been in the hands of the Gutmann family since 1855.

I bought this beer at a Bayern web shop at the price of 2,5 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,2%.

A deep unfiltered beer with a lot of sediment making for a very dense look of orange and yellow.

A great big head of fine white bubbles, disappears into a layer that still covers the top.

A heavy and sweet fruit aroma with some banana to it, very good.

Medium CO2, a somewhat sweet fruit taste but no complex composition, it could use some more diversion in the taste to score higher.
